Considering John wanted it completed by the 14 th of February, it was a very tight turnaround. It required lugging my camera to lots of different factories all over Britain often drowning myself on copious cups of tea.</p> <p>The always amazing thing about working on jobs like this is meeting people. As easy as it is to hate on the general public, I really do love them as well. People generally are really open and amazingly generous with their time, and it was no different on this project.</p> <p>So we had the opening night party which was fantastic. Duncan (14’s co-owner) decided to buy a massive load of wine for the opening reception. We were just going to supply beer courtesy of Shop14’s anniversary party taking place after, but Duncan wanted to get classy.</p> <p>I must admit that I am really proud of the photographs and feel it’s a real honour to have them displayed in such a fantastic location. So, I just want to finish by thanking John and Duncan, two exceptionally nice guys. <a href="http://alachampfest.blogspot.com/">Monique</a> and <a href="http://www.fixedgearlondon.com/">Andy</a> for helping to hang all the prints, my girlfriend Weinay (<a href="http://www.weinaytang.co.uk/">MySmallShop</a>) for a mammoth scan and print session and all the other folk that helped me out over the last month or so.</p> <p>The exhibition is on for a while yet, so you have plenty of time to come and visit.</p> <p><i><b><br/></b></i></p>
